Institutional Placement

23 Dec 2014 07:00

RNS Number : 5538A
eServGlobal Limited
23 December 2014
 

eServGlobal Limited ("eServGlobal" or the "Company")

Placing

Paris: 23 December 2014

 

eServGlobal (AIM: ESG & ASX: ESV), the provider of end-to-end mobile financial services to emerging markets, announces that it has entered into subscription agreements with existing and new Australian institutional investors for the Company to issue a total of 10,000,000 new ordinary shares ("New Shares") at A$0.55 (28.69 pence) per New Share, raising gross proceeds of AUD$5.5 million (£2.87 million) before costs (the "Placing").

The net proceeds from the Placing will allow eServGlobal to invest in the rapid deployment of existing projects, following which the Company expects to benefit from the customer project lifecycle moving into higher margin work such as the expansion of services, and capacity extensions as subscriber numbers increase. The Company will also invest in the ongoing development of the PayMobile platform. This highly scalable and modular platform is expected to open new opportunities with channel partners and new customer types on both a global and local level. Further detail on the use of proceeds is set out in the Annexure.

 

The New Shares, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu with the existing issued ordinary shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of the ordinary shares after the date of issue of the New Shares. The New Shares represent 3.92% of the Company's existing issued ordinary share capital, and will be issued by the Company pursuant to existing authorities granted to the Directors.

 

Application will be made for the New Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"), and it is expected that Admission will become effective, and trading in the New Shares will commence on 2 January 2015.

 

Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company will have 264,974,052 ordinary shares in issue. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

 

Veritas Securities Limited acted as sole bookrunner in respect of the Placing.
